This church is absolute perfection. Not only is it an architectural delight but you will enjoy everything that your eyes gaze upon--the marble, the colors, the images--everything. If you only have time for a few churches (which would be a shame), put this one right after San Marco.

This little church is a real gem. Its simplicity sets it apart from many others, but that is deceptive. Take care to mount the altar steps and look at the carved putti round the wainscot. They are quite charming. If your interest is spiritual this is the best place for quit co temptation I know.

Whether you find this by luck or skilful map reading doesn’t matter, it’s worth wandering through the very pleasant area of South Eastern Cannaregio and Northern San Marco and if you stumble across this then so much the better. It wasn’t marked as an attraction on any of the several different tourist maps we picked up but there are plenty... More

This is a beautiful, peaceful church, off the beaten track with very few visitors. Those few tourists in the locality seem to walk straight past without noticing the fantastic pink and white marble exterior. Go inside (3 euros) to get an even better experience. This is also known as "The Marble Church" as it is apparently one of the best... More

Exquisite inside and out, rightly described as 'a gem'. Worth sitting down to take in the lovely colour and pattern of the walls and ceiling, then going up to the altar area to admire the intricate filigree of the sculpted marble and mythical sea creatures. A unique whole work of art wwhich should not be missed.

A bit hard to find, as the maps are not particularly helpful, but Santa Maria is a very pretty church to visit. The exterior is set with beautiful mosiac stone, and the inside has some wonderful art works.

What a delightful small church the Santi Maria Dei Miracoli is. Its 3 Euro to enter. It was built between 1481 - 1489 and is lined with a marble interior which locals tell me is said to what was left over from St Marks Basilica. In the panelled roof are 50 miniature paintings of saints and apostles painted in 1528... More
